Report No. 05 -223 to the Chairs' Committee
Re: Action Plans to Support the Implementation of the 2005 — 2006 OCDSB Obiectives and Goals
ORIGINATORS: Lorne M. Rachlis, Director of Education/Secretary of the Board
Michele Giroux, Executive Officer, Administration
Senior Staff
PURPOSE:
1. To present the action plans for the implementation of the 2005 — 2006 OCDSB Objectives and
Goals.
BACKGROUND:
On December 13, 2004 the Board approved a strategic planning process to support the
development of a multi -year strategic plan which included the following steps from the motion:
A. March Break to May 2005 System consultation on Objectives and Goals
(2004 -2005)
B. May 2005 Chairs' Committee Discussion of recommendations for Objectives and
Goals for 2005 -2006
C. June 2005 Chairs' Committee Submission of a status report on the implementation
of the action plans in 2004 -2005
D. October 2005 Chairs' Committee Based on A, B, and C above, submission of action plans
to the Board to support implementation of Objectives
and Goals for 2005 -2006
E. June 2006 Conduct a thorough evaluation for publication to
determine the extent to which the Objectives and Goals
for 2005 -2006 were achieved
On 13 June 2005, the Board approved the continuation of the following OCDSB Objectives and
Goals for 2005 — 2006.
A) Improve student learning:
i) Focus on literacy and numeracy at all grades
ii) Foster attention for every child with individual learning opportunities to help
each child achieve his/her potential
iii) Ensure balanced choice, universal access to core programs, distribution of
specialty programs
51"6
B) Improve availability, quantity, and effective use of resources to support learning:
i) Seek improvements to provincial funding and to OCDSB share of same
ii) Allocate resources equitably within a balanced budget
iii) Increase market share
C) Increase the effectiveness of the organization through a positive corporate culture:
i) Effective leadership
ii) Establish respect, loyalty and trust
iii) A more client- centered culture
4. Staff have reviewed the objectives and goals within the context of "What are we doing or what
could we do to realize these objectives ?" This review led to the assignment of responsibility
and the development of action plans. In some cases, the action plans contain "on- going"
initiatives that were carried forward from the action plans of 2004 - 2005. This reflects the fact
that the Board has maintained the same objectives and goals for a two period and certain
initiatives require more than one year to be fully implemented.
STATUS:
5. A summary schematic overview of the objectives, goals and areas for action is provided in
Appendix A.
6. The Action Plans (Appendix B) specify tasks, responsibilities and deadlines for the OCDSB
Objectives and Goals (2005- 2006). Staff members who are identified in the column under
Responsibility Centre will act as the lead contact as the activities are being carried out. All
members of senior staff as well as staff in schools will be supporting the various action plans as
appropriate.
7. The next step in the process is the development of an evaluation framework that will enable us to
measure the success of these initiatives. Quality Assurance staff are currently developing a
framework that includes:
i) a detailed description of activities carried out (e.g., professional development/inservice,
moneys invested); and
ii) an analysis of outcome measures (e.g., trends over time in student achievement,
attitudinal changes over time as a result of specific initiatives).
Staff will bring forward a more detailed report on the proposed evaluation framework before
December 31, 2005.
Submitted for information.

Director of Education/Secretary of the Board
